Help me decide.. Black or Red Volk decal?

MMM PWR · 04-28-2013, 08:09 PM

A month ago I ordered new Volk TE37SL decals in both gloss black and gloss red (tough decision) to replace my old Volks decals. Knowing that I daily drive my M3, is the red decal too over the top given the car already has red AP Racing BBK? I love the look but the car already gets enough attention...not sure I want more.

Current setup:

KW Clubsport
Matte black 19" Volks TE37
Red AP Racing BBK

This looks hot but is it too over the top as a daily driver?

I like it with no decal.....but that's just me

but if I had to choose i'd go with black.......red looks a bit much for MY taste

I don't care for the SL decals. They look cheap.

Go with the original TE37 decals. The wheel is a TE37 so it's totally acceptable. I know several people on the forums that have done this.

My vote was no stickers but black is my second choice. I like the sl stickers better than the original te37 decals that endless suggested. My te37's came with the original decals and I quickly removed them.

In your Avatar pic you are running TE37SL with red decals?

Yes. I had them a few years ago. Now I have bronze te37's.

dont really like the red even though matches the APs.

Akuma · 04-28-2013, 09:46 PM

I'd choose black if given only red and black. My advise would be to leave it clean though, it looks great already, and stickers "cheapen" the look (in my humble opinion).

nightrain · 04-29-2013, 01:03 AM

go for red mate, looks better and goes very well with your red bbk

And1M3 · 04-29-2013, 01:19 AM

I will just leave it plain without stickers.

xcharlesy · 04-29-2013, 01:56 AM

black / white for sure

Alen E90 · 04-29-2013, 02:05 AM

i like the red stickers but only on the SL's and since you have the regular TE37's, IMO you should just keep 'em off.

IMG · 04-29-2013, 06:00 AM

No sticker!

positiveions · 04-29-2013, 03:07 PM

Tough decision

MMM PWR · 04-30-2013, 02:51 PM

8 votes red, 3 votes black, 8 votes no stickers but most posters are against red. Hmm..

veightkiller · 04-30-2013, 03:09 PM

you can't go wrong on either one, just pick one and be happy.

Evolve-US · 05-01-2013, 07:23 AM

I would go no sticker

No sticker looks way cleaner on your car IMO.
